A Real Necessity.

We presume there is hardly to be
found in our broad land who, if she
does not already possess a sewing ma
chine expects some day to become the
owner of one.
But after the mind has been fully
made up TO purchase one of these in
dispensable articles, the question arises
as to what kind of a machine to buy.
1t should be so simply constructed
that the most inexperienced can success
fully operate it. The other points
mainly to be considered, and which are
the most desirable, are durability, rap
idity, capacity for work, ease of opera
ton, regularity Of motion, uniformmity
of tension, and silence in operation.
The Light-Running New Home F."
fills the above requirements, and is said
to combine the good points of all sew.
ing machipes, with the addition of
many new improvements and labor
saving devices.
The price is no higher than that of
other machines, and every lady who is
the happy pOssessor of one may rest
assured she has indeed treasure. See

The White Man of the New South.

Indeed, it is the white man of the
South more than black that has been
freed by the civil war and the greatest
blessing which has thus far resulted to
the South from the emancipation of the
Southern slaves is its effect upon the
white man of that region in transform
ing him from dependent idler, or 'gen-
tie man Of leisure" supported by his
slaves, into an independent, self-reliant
worker. We speak Ofthe typical, rep
resentative Southern white man, not of
all classes, for there were working white
men in the Old South and there are idle
white men in the new. But the white
man of the New South is preeminently
a worker as compared with the white
man of the Old South, who, if not an
idler, was at least n man of multitude
nous leisure. But having now been set
free from that bondage to leisure and
that contempt of labor which isinseper-
able from slave-hOld, the representative
of that region has become a new man
and has entered upon a new probation
among theindustriOus races of the earth.
If the OLD South had a contempt for the
worker, the New South has a greater
contempt for the do-nothing and the
idler-iOr the man who does no honest
work, it matters not how white his skin
or how full his exchequer. The "gen-
tleman idler" has lost caste in the
South he is an institution Ofthe past

Governor Hill and High License.

The friends of temperance reform
will not be surprised at Governor Hills
veto of the High License bill which
passed the New York Legislature a
short time ago. His recent expression
of opinion on a kindred subject and the
welI-knOwn demagogism of the man
left little hope that he would rise above
partisan considerations in dealing with
the measure. The trainers of the bill
gave him no speciOus reasons for veto
ing it, and MI. Hill is not the man to
reject any political ammunition his Op-
pOnents may place in his hands. The
terms Of the measure which made it
applicable only to New York City and
Brooklyn laid it open to the charge of
special legislation, and the clause
which forbade the owner Of wine and
beer license to keep on hand" intOxi-
eating liquors may have been techni-
cally unconstitutional.
There are defects which even a less
astute politician than Governor Hill
might have discovered, but it needed
such narrOw-minded partisan as he to
find in them sufficient cause for killing
an otherwise cOmmendahle bill His
arguments are speciOus and can Oe
easily comprehended by those to whom
they are addressed. They appeal to
local prejudices and interests than
which Governor Hill knows we'll there
is no stronger incentive to keep under
his banner the class Of voters to whom
he must look for future political pre-
ferment. He deXterOusly tOsses a sop
to the Germans and lovingly pats that
efficient ally of the Democracy, the
Third party, on the back when he
speaks of them as that earnest, sin
cere, consistent and numerous class
known as Prohibitionists." And while
he is doing this he wraps himself in the
mantle or HOratiO Seymour and Samuel
j. Tilden and is probably little wit
ted enough to imagine that he IS the
legitimate successor of these men in
craftsmanship as well as in office.
The intelligent people Of New York
however, will brush aside Governo
Hills specious pleas and discern easily
the demagOgism which lies beneath
them. They know that he is looking
simply to the next election and that h
! Is willing to pander TO the interests 0
] CIC iutI ScllcIS anu 10 the pre- Juice
of the vicious classes in order to gail
their support, and the knowledge 0
this must awaken keen sense O
humiliation among the people of Ney
York. But if Governor Hill suppose
that he has strengthened himself or hi
party by his action on this bill he
sadly mistaken. There is a strong an
growing sentiment against the evils {
the liquor Traffic, and the demand tina
it shall be lessened is becoming lOude
and more imperative every day. Th
( New York liquor dealers have game
a temporary triumph through the a.
sistance of the man they arrogant
claimed as their friend" The
should not forget, however, that on
governor of that state who pandered t
a mob by calling them his " friends
was swept from office at the next elet
ton. The cause of temperance reforI
will go on in spite of the liquor seller
and their Obsequious ally, the preser
executive of New York. -PhHddeIBhi

The School Superintendent for New
Castle County.

Herman Bessey, the newly appointed
Superintendent for New Castle county,
Del, was born near Towanda, Bradford
county, Pa. At an early age he was
left an orphan. His uncle, D0rr Crocker
who was a farmer in Fairfax county,
Va, took him to his home to raise and
educate. He sent him to "a High School
at Falls Church, Fairfax county, Va,
and afterwards he was sent to the
Hightstown Classical Institute, Pres
byterian school, where he was prepared
for Princeton College. He entered the
Freshman class, but, owing to the death
of his aunt and i'll health, he did not
finish his year at college. Mr.. Bessey
made a visit to Baltimore hundred,
Sussex county, Del, in 1874, to see a
minister, a friend of his, and while
there he engaged to teach school near
FrankfOrd, Del. He succeeded so well
that John Hickman, who then lived at
Frankford, engaged him to teach their
village school. He met with great sue
cess there also, but as the salary was
small he only remained one year. He
came to Lebanon, Kent county, Del, in
1876, and his great energy and persev-
erance built up and graded one of the
best schools in that county. During
the year 1881 he spent in reviewing the
classics and higher mathematics under
Prof w. A. Reynolds, Of Wilmington,
and was a student at Lafayette College
in '82 49, He has been Principal of
] the Odessa Public Schools for four
! years, having been unanimously elected
| to the DOSitiOD at the close of each wear
His home is in North Murderkill hnn-
dred, Kent county. Del, where he has
spent most of his vacations for the last
ten years. In religion he is Presby-

What Women Have Done.

The passage by the Legislature last
week, of the bill providing for scientific
instruction in regard to the effects of
alcohol upon the human system, in the
public schools of the State, is said to be
great victory for the WOmen's Chris
tian Temperance Union. The passage
of the bill by Delaware makes this the
nineteenth state that has adopted it,
and in each one its Originators and un-
firing friends throughout were the res
pective State unions. Mrs. Anna II.
Martindale, president of the Delaware
Union, and a delegation of members,
were present at Dover on Tuesday
when the bill went through. In effect
it is similar to the bill adopted by Con-
gress during the session of 1856,
which applies to schools under the con-
troll of the government. 1t was the
first temperance bill ever passed by
Congress.

The aftermath of war rumors is dis
turbing Europe again, and with S,O00,.
900 men under arms there is always a
fruitful field for such reports; but there
is nothing in any of the new reports

to change the strong declaration by
Prince Bismarck, after the septennate
was voted, that peace was now secure
for another year. One such assertion
from the arbiter of Europe is worth

A Rough Deal.

A stranger went into an Austin res
taurant and ordered dinner. He
made one or two attempts to eat it, but
was badly defeated. Then he called
the proprietor of the caravansary, and
asked how much the funeral expenses
aggregated, and was told 80 cents :"
He handed over a S. bill, but when the
proprietor was about to return the
change, he refused to except it. mo,
sir" he said magnanimously, Just you
take that money and see if you can
hire a right hungry man with it to eat
that dinner If he strikes for higher
wages just draw on me. If he dies I'll
pay the funeral expenses" The pro-
prietOr of the caravansary now says he
put up job on him.-Teras Siftiags.
